Abstract

Immigration has surged in salience as a political issue, yet so far political theorists have been unable to offer much guidance on specific questions of immigration policy, due in part to their predominant focus on the basic question of whether a state may justly restrict entry into its territory at all. Only recently have political theorists turned their attention to the specific reasons that states have invoked or might invoke in justifying specific immigration policies, such as the predictable effects of certain policies on disadvantaged citizens of receiving societies, on potential migrants themselves, or on those who remain behind in sending societies. This panel will be dedicated to exploring these new developments in the political theory of immigration policy.
